I attended, most people supported the nine stories for Ochterloney, and so-so for the 14 story bldg., but only one person supported 23 stories.
For me 23 stories butting up against the canal greenway (it will take the whole footprint) is not a good fit. There is a spot on Devonshire, 1/2 block away (accross from my front door), where 23 stories could fit in. The other issue is that it was described as a slender bldg. , but it is not. The Kings Wharf Tower is a slender bldg. Something like that could mabey fit in that spot. I also feel bad for greenvale, since it will be surrounded by height.
It was a meeting to look at a variance, so he may come back with plan B. JET
